Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0102079A2] The digitally controlled drawing machine has a drawing stylus which can be controlled as a function of data retrieved from an information memory (16). The information memory (16) is replaceable and its memory capacity is matched to a number of graphical outlines which corresponds to the keyboard. These graphical outlines include alpha numerical and graphical characters, symbols, figures and complex graphical outlines. An input device (14) makes it possible to program the information memory (16) in accordance with the current individual requirements so that the data of any desired character at a particular memory address can be assigned to any key in the keyboard. The arrangement includes a catalogue which includes the graphical outlines, on the one hand, and the coded data assigned to the latter as read symbols. Connected to the input of the input device is a read stage (12) to which the coded read symbols of any desired character can be fed, the recognised read symbols of a character being capable of being read by the input device to the required address of the information memory (16). <IMAGE>
